I did notice in one of the photos an error in labelling I thought I had corrected - I hope no one notices. Apart from that I fell really chuffed!<br /><br />I had a look at the link. I was very intrigued to read about the closing article of the JAMS publication. I'll quote:<br />" Stephen M. Gordon, Colonel Walt Yates, and Andrew Gordon close out the journal articles by exploring the benefits and challenges of applying successful storytelling techniques to designing wargame narratives that balance creative ambitions with achievable time lines. In the authors’ minds, wargames that incorporate such techniques will generate new trends and better inform future conflict planning."<br /><br />That sounded like an article I would very much like to read!<br />Cheers,<br />IonArchduke Piccolohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15533325665451889661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6933470253715910366.post-80776445751734981432021-09-15T23:31:39.406+01:002021-09-15T23:31:39.406+01:00Love the ABBA connection
